It is a simple saying yet, so abstruse. Any action you are participating in or any choice you eventually make, each of them, are like drops of water into a bigger body of water. Those drops of water no matter how small cause ripples on the surface, no matter the size of the puddle, creek, lake, or ocean. That action or choice whether right or wrong, good or bad, causes a rippling effect in the world around us. You or me might not be aware of it's affect to others or our environment, but those actions and choices cause ripples in my water and others as well.
These small drops create splashes and waves in the water that cause the surface of the entity to change. Those drops of water can be as simple as a march through the south for equality, and those drops of water can be as cruel as Katrina. They can ripple through time for people who stand for change; those that swim against the current of conformity and those same drops can enslave a man for the color of his own skin or religious belief. Those drops can create peace like Nelson Mandela or Genocide in Darfur.
Hatred and Love are taught at least in my opinion, taught from the ripples of the actions of people who are unaware that their choices not only change themselves but the entity as a whole. Whether the rippling effect is producing joy or pain is up to you, because If Anything matters, Everything matters.
Faith, Hope, and Love
I've always believed that, not only is this rippling effect true, it's also relevant to our greater subconscious. We are all linked and connected through our subconscious - and the drops that we dibble into the pond, positive or negative, have a great impact on ourselves and everyone in and around or environments.
ReplyDeleteSo, with that in mind, what seems to be good and true is to radiate the most positive energies one can muster. It creates a sense of harmony, of balance. It creates an inner happiness that can then spread subconsciously to those we come into contact with everyday. And doesn't that mean that if anything matters, then everything matters?
